With that being said... Summer is officially over, the cooler weather is moving in rapidly. & I love it. Along with the cooler weather comes the leaves changing, pumpkin patches, & the holidays.
Emma is such a big girl now. At 30 months old, and still a whopping 25 lbs, Emma is wearing 2T clothing and size 6 shoes. She is almost 100% potty trained. She wears big girl undies during the day (to include outings.. unless we're going to be gone for HOURS the I'll put a pull up on her.. just in case) and then she wears a pull up at night. 9 times out of 10.. the pull up stays dry. I'm so proud of her & she is quite proud of herself. We are starting to make weekly trips to the library in town, and as soon as I find somewhere that has gymnastics class for her age group on days that I have her, she'll be enrolled in that. She still goes to daycare one day a week (for now) and loves her teachers and her friends. Next fall, I will enroll Em in preschool 2 days a week =). She knows her ABC's and says them often. She can count to 20.. and LOVES to count stuff. Ie. we'll be drivin down the road, and she'll just start counting, so I asked her what she was doing, and she replied "i'm counting cars momma, look at that red one". =) I couldn't be more proud. We're still working on colors. It's pretty hit or miss if she gets them right. But all in all my little princess is growing up, and I love being here to see it all!
As for me..... wow, where to start.
I'm still working part time at the hospital. I can't WAIT to find a new job. I have several applications in at other hospitals and such. I need full time. I need that money.. and although i will be losing time with my daughter, as a single mom, I have no other choice. So keep your fingers crossed for me. :).
I finally got the money to file the custody stuff and the divorce. It only took me 10 months, but I have it. Actually I already went and paid my retainer fee for my attorney. She drew up the rough draft for custody.. and James says he wont sign. He wants Emma 50-50 alternating weeks. That just isn't doable. I havent stopped him from seeing her at all. He's never once asked to have her an extra day or to come see her, or pick up the phone and check on her. But all the sudden the arrangement we have isn't enough? He's mad bc I didnt do the divorce papers first. He just wants the divorce done so he can marry this girl he's seeing... so he can claim he's more 'stable' than I am. Makes me sick. So I guess we'll see where this goes, I'll give him one more chance to sign, before I continue with a custody complaint. I just want this crap over with.
Here are some pictures from the pumpkin patch =)
I am very happy with my life and the people in it :) <3
